"The story of American popular music is forever being told and yet there's always more to tell. Just published by W.W. Norton, The Chitlin' Circuit and the Road to Rock 'n' Roll, written by Preston Lauterbach, traces, in precise and dirty detail, the shadowy history of financiers, club owners, promoters and band leaders who participated in the loose network of juke joints, ballrooms and \"nighteries\" that once stretched across the South and up into the Midwest - giving rise to the music we know today as rhythm &amp; blues, soul and rock &amp; roll."^^<http://www.w3.org/2001/XMLSchema#string>
